This is the most cynical and brutal thing I've read today. Just let the vulnerable die, they have it coming anyway? These are people, from all walks of life, not all of them "vulnerable", and they might include yourself. If y

Yeah, they're not criminals, they were framed! They're definitely not random, and while they're technically freelancing, they don't take any money in the end. You're also talking about the A-Team, right? :) Jokes as

I'm assuming the "police work" you mention would yield more material to prosecute on, so they won't gi by "DNA alone", which GP was concerned about.

Better to train realistic scenarios, and there will always people who do unhelpful things. Doesn't mean you should feel free to add yourself to that list. :)

"Falling out of love" still implies the kind of love you also fall into, I think. "Falling in love" has not yet been banalized to some mean some generic positive emotion like the word live itself unfortunately has. I&#x2

I'd use click over argparse for the same reason I prefer the requests lib over built-ins for standard network communication: it smoothes out the rough edges, cuts down on boilerplate and makes the code easier to read, write and maintai

You're making some assumptions here about people, their conversations and motives, all of which you don't know, to come to some sweeping negative conclusion. I have no trouble at all believing that guy knows some people who have a

Even if we disregard the riddle of its meaning, I have no idea how to pronounce the name. Pee? Pye? Then, a "jay" sound, or a Spanish "junta", or a French "Jules"? And then how is the "u" pronounced?

Nobody's forcing you to upgrade anytime. Don't run upgrades just before you need your computer to work. I do upgrades once or twice a week, when I know I have time to fix if anything breaks. Maybe once a year I need to spend a cou
